TRUMBULL, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Questionmark, the leading provider of enterprise-grade assessment software and professional services, has announced its new Forensic Analysis service. The new service, created in partnership with test security company Caveon, allows for statistical analysis of assessment results to identify anomalies which could indicate test fraud.

Test fraud is a problem for all organizations delivering assessments and can result in employees that do not adhere to compliance and are underprepared for their role or candidates who receive certifications or qualifications by fraud. This can lead to reputational damage and even regulatory fines. Questionmark’s Forensic Analysis service will help organizations gain confidence in the integrity of their assessment results, by making it possible to identify types of cheating that are usually hard to spot.

Questionmark’s Forensic Analysis looks for patterns such as similarities in answers and the time taken to answer each question. It uses this data to identify types of cheating such as pre-existing knowledge of the test answers, or collusion between test-takers and proctors in exam centers. These anomalies will be interpreted by Questionmark, with support from Caveon, so that the organization can take sufficient action, such as retesting the individual.

Questionmark Forensic Analysis is a supplemental service to the Questionmark OnDemand service offering. Statistical analysis reports can be produced on a monthly, quarterly or ‘one-off’ basis. The data is collected behind the scenes by industry leaders Caveon, with interpretation provided by Questionmark. Questionmark’s Consulting Team will run the Forensic Analysis and share a report with the customer identifying any anomalies, with appropriate explanations.

Lars Pedersen, CEO at Questionmark, added: “We are thrilled to have partnered with Caveon to develop such robust statistical analysis. We look forward to working with Caveon and continuing to provide world-leading enterprise-grade assessment software and professional services.”

Dr. David Foster, CEO at Caveon said: “We're ecstatic that Questionmark shares the passion that Caveon has for trustworthy and valid assessment results. This service will allow Questionmark's clients to enhance their test security capabilities and protect their most important asset - the validity of their test scores."
